Amit is a name of Sanskrit origin, meaning "infinite," "boundless," or "limitless," often linked to concepts of vastness and eternity in Hindu philosophy. It is a classic Indian name, popular across the subcontinent and within diaspora communities, including in Scotland. One of its most famous bearers is Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Bollywood actor whose career has spanned decades and made him a global icon. Another is Amit Shah, a prominent Indian politician. The name does not have a direct place-name equivalent in Scotland, but its spiritual resonance makes it a meaningful choice for families seeking a name that suggests endless potential. A notable variant is the feminine form Amita.
